Review of 'Two old women' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
"They think we are too old and useless. They forget that we, too, have earned the right to live! So I say if we are going to die, my friend, let us die trying, not sitting."
This was a super short read about two old women, abandoned by their tribe during hard times. Apparently this story is one based on an actual Alaskan Athabaskan story told to families, which I thought was super neat. I thought these two old women were inspiring in how they changed so completely from complaining about minor aches to surviving harsh Alaskan winters. Age is just a number, so I hear, and I think this story is a good reminder of that.
If you've got a few hours to spare (and that's all it'll take) and like adventure books with a lesson, this would be a great read.
